It was the year 1674. The great battle of the demons and the gods was going on. Barely 4 gods survived but they lived on to the year 2010. Those gods were Sutr the god of fire, Poseidon the god of water, Jord the god of Earth, Indra the god of air. When they were about to perish, they mutually agreed to make statues that would keep alive their Godly essence and keep the divine cycle going. They made the statues into human shapes and encased their power into them. As soon as they did that, they were absorbed by the elements from which they had come.
With that, the human statues breathed with life and they turned into babies.
These babies were found by a rescuer 1 day later. Since there was no one around them, it was assumed that they had been abandoned and they were sent to the Orphanage. They were lovingly named Sam, Alexis, Bob, Gibbon.
The island of Kuhufun, as ancient as mythology itself was rediscovered. The archaeologists called it the ‘PARADISE’ of the ancient times. This latest discovery was mind blowing. It ended many debates that were going on for many years – Did gods really exist?
There were many relics in Kuhufun that pointed to the existence of Gods and demons. Archaeologists from all over the world had started to come to this place in search of evidence to demonstrate that along with paradise, Kuhufun contained the portals to the underworld and overworld.
Meanwhile Sam, Alexis, Bob, Gibbon were growing into fine young people. Playing along with the other kids, they used to cross paths with each other- completely oblivious of the powers that they possessed. Then one night Alexis had a vision. She saw a strange temple in the centre of Kuhufun, hidden from view, heavily covered with vines and creepers. The same night Bob saw a flying structure in Kuhufun that was pretty close to the orphanage. Gibbon woke up in beads of sweat as he had seen a devastating vision of fire coming out of a temple. The fire’s blaze was so intense that it seemed to scorch the premises of their orphanage. Sam meanwhile saw a submerged temple and as Sam waded through it, the water slowly turned into cold stoned ice.
Morning saw a lot of chaos in the orphanage as the 4 children were nowhere to be found. Mr Graben, the manager, looked at the calendar to find a dark spot on the date of that day and from the dark spot came the words- ‘Let them be GONE, don’t try to find them.’ Sinking back in his chair, old Mr Graben recalled that the rescuer who had brought them 13 years ago had warned him that something mystical would happen when those kids entered teenage. The very next day the rescuer had suddenly disappeared but his red-yellow attire, his blood red scar on the forehead and his words had remained with Mr Graben.
At the Temple
These 4 had been worried about their lucid dreams so they had followed their instincts to find a very old temple. These 4 were confused to see each other at the temple for the same reason. Gibbon explained to all of them that they were meant to find each other. After a lot of questioning and answering they discovered that they were cousins and had powers.
When they walked inside they saw 4 pieces of tinted glass. They all picked up 1 piece each and surprisingly they got some weapons/ jewellery. Gibbon got a bracelet, Sam got an anklet, Alexis got a sword and Bob got a knife. They again started getting visions of a demon realm. Then they started feeling heat and realised that they were not dreaming; they were in hell. They saw a narrow path which was surrounded by burning lava. Many screams pierced the surroundings in a constant ringing fashion. While walking along the intensely heated path, they also heard many whispers saying ‘Beware of the Demon King’.
Bob, very intrigued, wanted to follow the whispers. The whispers took him to a large cemetery where Zurden, the pet dragon of the great Demon King Lucifer rested peacefully. The grave of Zurden was surrounded by the ash of fire with a large boulder resting on it. On the boulder there was an engraving- “Here rests the MIGHTY protest against the holy Gods”.
Just next to the grave stood a tall and muscular demon with horns as big as the tusks of a massive elephant, withered white wings and fuming red body, the colour of the blood of his enemies, the holy Gods. He was Lucifer, the mighty Demon King who had vanquished heaven.
Looking at him Bob got very scared and quickly launched his knife at Lucifer. Lucifer flicked away the knife and Bob caught it back. The three others pulled him back and together they ran for life, back to the temple opening. As soon as they reached the temple, they shut the portal to hell. Heaving a sigh of relief as they sat down, they kept their weapons on the ground. As the weapons touched each other, a strange apparition came up in the air reading-
Your destiny is to fight Lucifer and claim heaven as your own
Sutr.
They knew that they could not fight Lucifer like that. They decided to train with the Ninjas who lived in the depths of the highest ranges in Kilimanjaro.
20 years Later
Bob, Alexis, Gibbon and Sam were going to celebrate their 33rd birthday by fulfilling their destiny of fighting Lucifer. They all went to the temple with their weapons and knowledge of fighting. Once they reached the same spot in the temple where they had met 20 years ago, they were automatically teleported to Hell once again.
When they entered this time, they saw that hell was ablaze. There was fire all around. A terrible fight was going on between Lucifer, the demon king and a mighty red yellow dragon who looked like a demi-god himself. They were surprised as they had been believing that it was their destiny to fight Lucifer and reclaim heaven, but here was this audacious dragon who seemed to be very angry and very determined in fighting against Lucifer. As the dragon turned to face them, Sam shouted to the others that the dragon was none other than Inferno- their rescuer. He was the one who had placed them in the care of Mr Graben years ago. They were zapped to find that he was a mighty dragon and was a part of their destiny in fighting Lucifer.
Both Inferno and Lucifer were heavily injured, they both were wheezing. Inferno told them that they were both trying to take revenge on each other. Sam, Alexis, Gibbon and Bob joined the fight and did fatal blows on Lucifer. He was very strong but not strong enough. Gibbon used his fire bracelet to burn his body. As the body writhed under the intense fire, it started crackling. Sam quickly used his water anklet to pour ice cold water on Lucifer and this combined attack of fire and water weekend Lucifer considerably. Inferno was sitting and watching the whole fight, renewing his strength. Just as Lucifer tried to fly away, Alexis cut off his wings with her sword and Bob stabbed him right in the middle of his chest. Finally Inferno got up with a mighty roar and blazed the most furious fire which turned Lucifer to ashes.
1 year later
Sam, Alexis, Bob, Gibbon reclaimed heaven. As they lived there, different elements of nature healed and Gods started appearing again. The mighty forces of nature which had taken away the power of gods, gave rise to many positive powers once again. Kuhufun was once again visited by many archaeologists who wanted to unravel the mystery of the holy battle. Dwellings of people were removed from there and Kuhufun was restored to its natural beauty the way it was in the ancient times.
